I’ve been at this for over a year now, and I’ve tried all kinds of brushes. I’ve found that I prefer the boars, although I do love my Vie-Long Peleon (horse)as well. Lucky me, for once I actually prefer the less expensive ones! Anyway, when I first started reading shaving forums I would occasionally read posts that proclaim how the writer only used Silvertips, and would tell you which of those were to scritchy or prickly. At the time I was using a clipped boar Burma Shave brush, and liking it, so it was easy to think “that’s nice, princess…..” But the longer I’m at this, the more I see people I’ve come to respect talking that way about brushes I really like. I know YMMV and all, but I just don’t get it. So I’m forced to ask myself; is there something wrong with my face? Do I just not have a proper understanding of the terminology? I don’t want to start a badger vs boar argument, and I don’t mean to insult anyone. And since it’s sometimes hard to tell on the computer, let me assure you I’m not being sarcastic or trying to be funny. I’m just really starting to get curious.
